Deb- bie Tobiassen, a freshman, had par- ticipated in horse shows since she was 11. Debbie and her older sister Shari worked with thoroughbred horses owned by their parents and they learned to ride them. By 11, Debbie had started to enter horse shows and had since won various awards. She had shown in Chino and at the L.A. fairgrounds. She rode English and Western, two-forms of riding, and had ridden in some highly rated shows but usually participated in local events. At age 14, she was working towards a silver trophy and had been saving high points. With the high points she would later be able to enter state competitions. Practice took one hour every day and the day before the shows Debbie gave her horse Marzett, a female Ara- bian the day off. On the day of the competitions, Debbie rode Marzett for a few hours before the show. In the competitions she had been judged on pleasure equitation, which was based on the rider. Debbie planned to continue riding and competingin horse shows and hoped to surpass her sister Shari in the amount of high points. When asked what career she would choose, Debbie replied, l would be involved with horses such as teaching people to ride, or become a veterinarian. Q QSHOWING THREE YEARS OF HARD WORK, Debbie Tobiassen has a large display to show for her achievements. With enough high points she will soon be able to enter state competitions.

Freshmen Sandra Fong, Kirby Lim, Tim Matias and Christo- pher Yip all attended the San Gabriel Valley Chinese School on Saturdays. They went to the school every Satur- day from 9:00 to 12:00. The school taught language and various dialects which make up the language, as well as the history of the Chinese. Between 9:00 and 12:00 each class had time put aside for P.E. The class taught three different sets tKung Fu moves for fighting and defensel according to different levels of Kung Fu. The school had one main instructor, Master William Wang: he had four assistants who were his son and sons-in-law. The school was con- sidered very lucky to have Master Wang as the instructor. He had taught many important people such ilk afHlH'- E' iiiffqlhf -fa Thomas Valle George Vidal Allen Villescas ,.iV: . iiii ,,,is,a . f't as Ben Vereen. From 12:30 to 1:30, a regular Kung Fu class was held in which Sandra, Kirby, Tim and Chris participated. The Kung Fu moves they learned were used for perform- ances only. SGVCCA fSan Gabriel Valley Chinese Cultural Associationl performed many times for various groups. The youth group who gave the per- formances had participants from the ages of 7 to 16 years of age. Sandra Fong and Kirby Lim performed at Palo Alto during halftime at the Stan- ford football game in 1979. Sandra, Kirby and Chris have done perform- 'ances for the Broadway at the Brea and Puente Hills malls. They also per- formed in the Chinese New Year Parade held every year in Chinatown and various other performances. When asked what they liked best about the school,- they replied, Doing Kung Fu and performing it. The youth groupfs head advisor was Dr. Andrew Wong, who in 1979 was nominated for the LaPuente Citizen of the Year Award. The school was a non-profit organization. The biggest profit was the parents' pleasure in seeing the children learn their Chi- nese heritage. Q QDURING CHINESE NEW YEAR the associa- tion performs in the four plazas in Los Angeles Chinatown. The scene is of lion parents which are operated by Lester and Kirby Lim who work the head and tail of one of the parents.
